INCLUDED:  

1 Stata data set: 
 
  bbw2025prq.dta 		CCES data with respondent opinion on Indian gaming.

1 Stata do file:  
 
  bbw2025prq-analyze.do 	Runs the models and interpretations reported in the paper.  
 
1 README file: 
  
  bbw2025prq-README.txt		Describes the included data and files.  

  
NOTES:

1. This replication data set contains the primary data set used in the MLE models 
	for ordered logit with spatial decay reported in Table 1. The data set
	includes the CCES data from the researchers' survey module, subsetted to
	the relevant variables for the analysis and supplemented with information on 
	the distance from a respondent to all Indian gaming facilities. 

2. The models are estimated by bbw2025prq-analyze.do. This includes MLE programs for
	the ordered logit models that simultaneously estimate the spatial decay parameter
	and the effect of spatial exposure. Likelihoods are included for outcome variables
	with three and five outcomes corresponding to the models estimated in Table 1.

3. Model interpretation is also performed in bbw2025prq-analyze.do. This involves 
	plotting the estimated decay functions reported Figure 2 and the estimated
	decay effects reported in Figure 3.

4. The do-file is written for Stata version 18, though it may run in previous versions.
